Help with my Bubble tip Anemone?

[redsea2012]

Yesterday I received my Bubble tip Anemone, I put it in a rock on the bottom, it start moving in to the rocks and this morning I could not see it,it looks like it went behind the rock! should I move it back or just leave it? I want my clown's to host it!!!!

Just leave it. Trying to move it will stress and you could rip the foot which would kill it. I had one go behind the rocks for a month then popped up in front. Just give it time.

Leave it. it will take a little while to adjust to the new tank and lights but should come back out when it is ready. it took my bta a month to start poking its head out again.

Moving it will cause it more stress in this already stressful time.

Was it pale? If it's bleached and doesn't have its zooxanthellae and can't use light, it probably feels safer to hide in the rock.

If it's not bleached it may come back out after adjusting, depending on your water and light parameters. Water may be "harsh" and/or lights may be too bright ("light shock"). What are your water and light parameters?

If you don't already have them, you may want to get a Seachem Ammonia Alert and a Poly-Bio-Marine, Inc. brand Poly-Filter. Both will change color after an ammonia spike. If the BTA does die, it will create a hell of an ammonia spike, so those are cheap insurance.

That is a neat Idea...I like it. I just bought the Ammonia alert. Thanks
